Recent British media sources claim Tottenham Hotspur has opted not to extend Son Heung-min a long-term contract. Rather than ensuring his future with a new multi-year contract, the club intends to exercise the one-year extension clause in his present contract, therefore keeping him at the club until 2026.

Son Rejected Prominent Saudi Offers
Son elected to stay at Tottenham, therefore reinforcing his loyalty to the team, even though Saudi Arabian clubs had made very attractive offers during the past two summer transfer windows. Football is about more than just money, he said earlier, and this is a point of great resonance with Spurs supporters, who consider him as a club icon and among their most devoted players.

Though he is unquestioningly loyal, it seems the top management of Tottenham does not feel the same way about their South Korean star.

Contract Situation: Not Yet Offering Renewal
Son’s present Tottenham contract expires at the end of the season. He hasn’t as far had an official renewal offer from the team. Rather, British outlet talkSPORT claims Spurs would simply extend a one-year contract, maybe indicating they intend to hold him until 2026 before considering moving him on.
Son had expected a show of faith from the club in the form of a long-term deal, so this outcome has apparently left him stunned and annoyed.

Further adding to the uncertainty about Son’s future is the recent treatment of the South Korean star by Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, which calls questions.
- Son started both games but was replaced early in both Premier League (Nov 3) and Europa League (Nov 8).
- Some saw the early substitutions as a purposeful slight, maybe suggesting Postecoglou’s inclination for a younger side going forward.
Especially after being subbed off on November 3, Son seemed clearly disturbed and allegedly used strong language out of rage, which added further gasoline to rumors about his discontent with his present Spurs scenario.

What direction Son Heung-min is headed?
Son’s future at Tottenham is yet unknown without a long-term contract offer on the table and with apparently growing tensions. Should the club remain in its current posture, rumors of a possible summer 2025 or earlier move could become more intense, especially given Saudi Pro League teams and European behemoths monitoring his circumstances.
Spurs supporters are left wondering whether their cherished captain will stay with the team until 2026 or if the present contract dilemma indicates that his time in North London could be running short.
